Oh s**t! I just realized I have that, and on hybrid SACD no less. Have to give a listen tonight. (I buy too much music.)
You can't buy too much music! But FWIW, how embarrassing can it be to be browsing thru a record store and see something thats really appealing, buy it and when you get home find out you have a copy. Been there, done that! :-)
the first track on Rufus Wainwright's "Want Two" is not bad.
There is a fine heart string puller on Tom Wait's recent "Real Gone" called "The Day After Tomorrow" what about Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko "Suspended Night" the whole of that album is full of hauntingly beautiful music. These are few examples from recent purchases but the list could go on and on.
